A gem of a novel, enjoyable from the first chapter. Hard to put down with its wonderful characters and storyline.
A series of children’s books impacts the lives of the children who read them. The author is reclusive on his island in Maine. For four children, the island and the stories represent a way to have their wishes granted and they travel alone to the island. Now as adults, they are called back to the island for a game and a chance to win the first book in six years. The riddles in the books are modeled in the game and each player has the opportunity to win. Each one has current problems that the money from the sale of the book would solve.
The story is really about Lucy and her wish and her deepest desire as an adult. It is just a lovely novel.
